Question

You walk 1/4 miles to a shoe store. Then you walk another 2/5 miles to a music store. How many miles ha r you walked in all?

Answer 1

I would walk
`(13)/(20)` or 0.65 miles.

Explanation:

`(1)/(4)` +
`(2)/(5)` =
`(5)/(20)` +
`(8)/(20)` =
`(13)/(20)` or 0.65

Answer 2

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

`(13)/(20)`, or 0.65 miles.

Convert both to common denominator, then add together.

They have a common denominator of 20.

`(1)/(4)` ×
`(5)/(5) = (5)/(20)`

`(2)/(5)` ×
`(4)/(4) = (8)/(20)`

`(5)/(20) + (8)/(20) = (13)/(20)`
